Rebecca Stromeyer (née Badde) is Managing Director and founder of ICWE GmbH and Chairman of the Board of the award-winning web portal http://www.internet-course-finder.com/ (Internet Course Finders), which is dedicated to education and offers information on all types of educational institutions worldwide. She is also a co-founder and shareholder of ICEF GmbH, an international conference company based in Bonn, Germany that organises the world’s foremost workshops for international student recruitment and "travel for education" (http://www.icef.com).
Rebecca grew up in an international environment and was raised multilingually. She was born in Kuwait and spent most of her formative years in different countries in the Middle East, the longest time spent in Lebanon. Other residences included London and Bonn before she established herself - and her business operations - in Berlin.
She studied Slavonic Studies and Business Management both in Berlin, Moscow and the UK. This background provided the basis for her first successful exhibition series on languages and multiculturalism, which have been organised in different European countries such as Berlin, Budapest, London, Warsaw, Moscow and Prague since 1988.
Rebecca Stromeyer has been organising events related to education and training, languages and media for more than a decade and a half in all parts of the world. Her most prestigious enterprise to date is the ONLINE EDUCA conference series whose flagship, ONLINE EDUCA Berlin, she helped launch in 1995. The annual conference is regarded as the key networking event of the international e-learning industry. ONLINE EDUCA MADRID, first held in 2000, has expanded the palette to the Spanish-speaking eLearning Community and is another steadily growing success.
One of her newest projects, eLearning Africa, responds to a need for networking on the contradiction-filled continent, where she believes the event can contribute to much-needed capacity building. The second edition of this annual international conference on ICT for Development, Education and Training took place on May 28 - 30, 2007 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Connecting people to enhance the educational process is Rebecca Stromeyer’s métier and avocation. A mother of two, she views mutual understanding - founded on education - as a cornerstone of hope for the world her children are growing up in. She utilises her professional skills and her company, to leverage this crucial process.
